🎵Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Like A Rock REACTION

[@tomseidel2992]

No one can make you feel nostalgic for lost youth the way Bob can.

[@armadillotoe]

He has been making me feel nostalgic for lost youth for 40 years now.

[@Hartlor_Tayley]

That’s the truth

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Makes me feel nostalgic for a youth I never had. I was more soft and pudgy.

[@lindazee]

😭😭😭 I loved our years back then. How blessed I feel but sometimes I do long for another shot at it.

[@davidvsr]

absolutely right on!!!

[@cjonesufc]

Seger was generally against using his music for advertising, but the automotive industry in Detroit was struggling so he allowed Chevrolet to use this song in support of all the blue collar factory workers at risk of losing jobs. It ended up being massively successful. He also put on fantastic live shows. He was my first concert in the mid 80s in Worcester, MA and I saw him three times in the few years before his last tour. The crowd’s energy was huge. Every time.

[@maryreilly5092]

Yep! This song saved GM's behind! I was one of those folks that bought a Chevy, brand new, my only one, probably because I was so influenced by the ad campaign featuring this song!

[@janef220]

I didn’t know that I just assumed he sold out. It’s hard for me to enjoy the song the same way though without replays of the truck commercial in my mind. He was popular on the radio and the song is a good classic. Production really stands out as well

[@brendahhstiles9992]

I’m glad it helped the industry and wasn’t just for his own profit but I’m sad that every time I listen to it I think of trucks🤷🏼‍♀️

[@andrewsokol2717]

@@brendahhstiles9992 Why would that make you sad? Those were awesome commercials.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

I bought my Chev C20 out of GMAC's repo'd fleet around 1980 - put a quarter million miles on it before it needed a valve job, then found out it had the thicker Heavy Duty block and different 4 barrel Rochester than the standard. Can't remember how many miles she went, but was still going in early '90s when this was the commercial.

[@guiness1100]

Bob Seger's voice sounds like an old pair of jeans feels...just perfect.

[@trishferris7355]

Nice. I think Bob would like comparison.

[@saragodres-tomes1032]

Yes! ❤️

[@writerwade9241]

Dude. That was perfect! Sounds like something Lex would say.

[@mikekroft86]

what a great analogy, i agree

[@erikhamm9946]

A true Seger classic. You may have to be 40 or more to appreciate this for more than just a Chevy commercial, I'm just saying. He only agreed to let it be used in the commercials to help the auto industry in his home town of Detroit. When one is 18, so full of promise. As one becomes middle aged, you can feel the effects of how challenging life can be. Times flies, don't wish your life away.

[@markbryant5965]

Thanks for the info - I never saw Seger as an artist who would sell out his songs for commercial purposes, so nice to find out he did it to help out the auto industry (never knew that).

[@vickirecord5534]

I'm 70 and had the same thoughts as you about this song. Appreciate remembering back to the days he describes.

[@detomaso_6235]

He may have had good intentions, but to me it was a great song ruined by being heard in truck commercials thousands of times. I've become completely sick of hearing it.

[@FrancoShoots]

@@detomaso_6235 as a Ford employee, I did not get affected by the commercial. I enjoyed the commercial, the song, which to me was a tribute to the tough Detroit workers. Still, Ford is a better truck!

[@danwilliams9299]

Great advice!

[@Incomudro1963]

The Soul in Seger's voice was unmatched in rock. When he says "Twenty years... Where'd they go?" I my eyes tear up.

[@jerryspann8713]

Me too. 😆

[@scott1395]

Every time, but it's the best part! I'm 62 and I'm still trying to figure out where my life went! Life goes by so fast, before you know it, it's gone!

[@christianmattison6096]

So much of Bob Seger's work is reflective. He had an old soul long before he was old. He wrote some of the best classic rock of the era.

[@danieltrickey9285]

Bob's voice is like a perfectly tuned and perfectly distorted guitar.

[@ronparsons8786]

20 years now, where'd they go 20 years... I don't know I sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone I just turned 51. I've always liked Bob Seger but I find as I get even older, a lot of his music and lyrics hit even harder. This man is special as is the music he's created

[@mkmstillstackin]

agree 💯and you and I are very close in age.

[@pyroman6000]

Yeah- I'm right there with ya, and that line gets me every time. As does "The Fire Inside" So much truth in that one. The first time I really listened to the lyrics, I was like " This guy GETS it."

[@Wraithlen]

I just hit 51 also. Amazing how fast 20 years go. Sigh.

[@ronniefromOR]

❤

[@kajones316]

I hit 51 August of 22, yeah it hits harder every year it seems. The man is awesome!

[@archashencmaa9937]

I agree with both of yall. The music back in those times was raw and it spoke on every level of life. today is quite the opposite, IMO. LOVED the reaction.

[@grizz474]

No auto tune. Brilliant lyrics. Voice second to none. Each and every word he sung was clear and understandable. I'm 67, this is my time frame for music. I've seen him twice in concert, as well as most of the acts of that time period. Best Music ever!

[@classic-kool]

The "Chevy Truck" theme song for YEARS!!

[@robertkeown2406]

Nobodies voice can make your emotions come to life like Seger's

[@armadillotoe]

The older I get the more I love listening to Bob Seger's music. You really need to listen to almost every song he did. You need to accept that your grandparents and great grandparent were way cooler than you are.

[@KamikazeJedi]

Quite a few young people today are so deluded. They think THEY have figured the world and it’s problems. It’s funny and tragic at the same time. The cold truth of life is going to hit them harder than it hit us. It ain’t gonna be pretty people.

[@heatherbegs]

I always loved his songs but pay much more attention to the lyrics the older I get. Especially ‘Night Moves.’ I honestly didn’t get it until much later 😉

[@wichitadisciple9874]

This song isn't that old.... LOL

[@american_cosmic]

@@KamikazeJedi That is EVERY GENERATION. You were once like that too!

[@Chris-mz1hm]

Lex is the most enjoyable person I’ve seen in any reaction video I’ve watched. Her energy and happiness are just infectious.

[@steveyoung2317]

Love this song. That slide guitar gives me shivers. So we'll played

[@cherisparkes4447]

Steve Young! I Absolutely Agree! This is an 🎶Amazing song!🎶❣ Perfection really.. all of the musicianship, gawd! that guitar!! the lyrics.. that Voice!! You just want to belt it out at the top of your lungs… right along with him! Bob Seger (and for me, especially with this.. song) his music, singing still moves me so much even now!! each and every time I hear him/ his band! I’ve been a Huge fan since age 15 when he appeared on the scene back in the 70’s ❣👏 🙌👍❣

[@pyroman6000]

That's a guy named Rick Vito, out of LA. There's just something about a slide guitar solo played by someone who really knows their stuff that hits you right where you live. Speaking of cool guitar parts- "Main Street" was not recorded by the Silver Bullet Band. Bob went down to the Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama to record that. So that killer guitar riff was played by one of "The Swampers". My buddys' band used to play that song a lot at the bars- and really nailed it- so It brings back great memories every time I hear it!

[@John_Chu]

Shout out to Rick Vito on the guitar solo. One of the best guitarists of his generation. Played with Bonnie Raitt, Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks, Jackson Browne, etc., etc.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

I was wondering who it was, thanks!! Awesome guitar!

[@pyroman6000]

Yep- those two screaming hot slide solos are the best part!! This song gets turned up as far as it will go when it comes on. LOVE me some good slide guitar!

[@EdMan57]

Both solos give me chills, everytime.

[@GBeret83]

Bob Seger is one of those rare performers who along with in my opinion the original Lynyrd Skynyrd Band prior to the crash, and The Eagles, doesn't have a bad song in their entire catalog.

[@kravitz1999]

Amen!

[@josephraymond1760]

Absolutely True.

[@Popson2wheels]

Great reaction. I get chills when he drives across the tracks at the end and his memories are gone. At 63 this hits home.

[@jayborn2610]

The song reminds me of my Pop. I remember, once, he was reminiscing about what it was like, when he was younger. (he passed a few years ago). I listened, asked him a question like "how did you do all that stuff ?" He shot out "I was strong then" And, boy, was he!!!!! He took on my mom, married her when she had 3 kids already, and he worked 7 days per week to take care of us, He was a rancher in Nevada. Strongest, kindest, most gentle man I ever knew. Faithful to the end. He was our savior. Miss you Pop, God bless you. I was 6 then.

[@carson2646]

I think this song speaks to what Brad is now. He's a strong young man of character and conviction. He's standing solid everywhere. Those of us who are further down the road now look back on this time of our lives and it brings a tear to our eyes for the things we lost along the way and how life beat the hell out of us

[@RichardRansdell-c4p]

Amen. Well put. Was literally thinking those same thoughts.

[@rebelracing101rr]

This song is my child hood at home with mom watching TV seeing an old Chevy commercial

One of the best songs ever written... Peace

[@shippy1971]

Simple yet tells a great story

[@jukeboxman1]

I'm actually proud of you guys! Aside from your ability to analyze the music you react to and recognize the different elements of quality and ability, but being able to understand the role music played in our lives in the 60s & 70s...And it's impact on society, but also understanding the heart and soul of the people that was directly related to the music. And, feeling the need for music with this type of inspiration in the world today, for those who didn't life during those days. Thanks guys!

[@vivianhayes6865]

Well put✌

[@Faltor895]

60s and 70s...this song was from 1986.

[@danwilliams9299]

Soo well said.

[@american_cosmic]

@@Faltor895 lol

[@195511SM]

The production value on that video is top notch. Heard the song hundreds of times....but didn't really pay attention to the words. Now....about to turn 67....ESPECIALLY after seeing the video. The dude's a master storyteller. 'Night Moves' & 'Turn the Page' do that to me also...

[@Mike1104USAA]

I play this song for my kids when they ask me what I was like growing up. I was 18 in 1987 and it was one of the best years of my life!

[@mikemaricle9941]

I was 16, just got my DL, as Archie & Edith would say, Those Were The Days.

[@pyroman6000]

1989 for me- and the lyrics were sooo true. It was the summer after my freshman year of college, and I was working full time on a family dairy farm. Lost 60lbs that summer, and was in the best shape of my life!

[@Sactown5472]

Fantastic song just love his voice and yes it was in a Chevy commercial loved it just because of this song. Next you need to listen to Shame on the Moon beautiful.

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

This song makes me take a look back at my younger years and how time has swallowed up those years. After all in the end all we have are the memories. I suppose we should be thankful that we were allowed to live through the times of our lives. Here's to all the good times, may we have many more!

[@fenderfox5080]

I love the way you can hear everything in his voice , from the grit to the whisper 🤫, the reverb and delay on his voice just enhances the purity of his voice.

[@richardmodglin3900]

This song hits deep the older you get. This is good music.

[@double00spy]

One of the best slide guitar solos in any song, anywhere. Simply genius.

[@donnagonatas3155]

Seger has an amazing voice! We did have the best music. I would fall asleep with my head phones every night. Lex you are right the music back then gave us youth such different messages than today. And I do believe music influences kids. Partly, take loves songs.. are there any today?. What you guys and all the other reactors are doing is turning on a whole generation to amazing music and different messages. Keep doing what your doing cuz us 60s and , 70s babies are having a blast!! ✌️♥️

[@pyroman6000]

Speaking of love songs, a good chunk of the millennial generation was likely conceived to "Still Loving You" from the Scorps, lol. The rest were undoubtedly conceived to a Journey song.

[@maureenlacore2461]

The instrumentation, the vocals, the lyrics!!! Bob's music is timeless. It tells stories that every generation can relate to. It can leave you with a hole in your heart, but always wanting more!!!

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

Love Bob Seger! He has the voice and the stories.

[@DevilDog78]

This song came out just after I joined the Marines. Now, it almost overwhelms me with nostalgia. Only it more than the "20 years" he mentions. It more than 40 years, and this song always takes me back to those days. Thanks for making it one of your reactions.

[@DRwhitman]

Me too.

[@windellmcspindell3652]

Spot on reaction. Bob Seger is one of the most underrated artists of all time.

[@joedonlewis9820]

Bob has some great lines. I love "I stood arrow straight, unincombered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes." His song Fire Lake may have the best line in rock and roll.

[@katherineheasley6196]

Bob Seger's one of my favorite vocalists, but I have to say that I love the guitar work in this song. Just so expressive! This song just flows and takes you right along with it.

[@douglassellers7528]

Oh my have you hit a gold mine today. The song came before the commercial. Bob has a very large catalog of songs.

[@gregj1295]

Music of the 70's got us through some tough times because they were relatable To the times, but some songs were just fun and made you feel good.

[@jeffcobb2734]

"20 years now, where'd they go? 20 years, I don't know. I sit and wonder sometimes, where they've gone." That lyric certainly hits differently for me now than it did back in the day when this song first came out. Bob is a great story teller who paints a picture with his lyrics. A sweet sad look back with nostalgia to our youth when we thought we'd live forever.

[@elizabethcarlisle32]

It was fun just watching Lex !! Bob Seger is still singing and I love his voice . I am 90 years old and still rocking to his music!!!

[@atuuschaaw]

I've been listening to Seger since '68 when his band was "The Bob Seger System". ♥

[@toddstevens13]

Indeed, and then he hit it huge when it changed to the Silver Bullet Band era, and then he changed again in the mid 80's and on. Damn we are old, and they youth have no clue what they missed.

[@victorgarciajr245]

Bob Seger can DEFINITELY make you miss the old days. Life was simple and with respect.

[@WolfFX13]

loved when Lex says 'The 70's, the music just gets you through', so true, but this song was 1986... so for those of us who grew up listening to "Rockin' Robert" Seger this was a later track. I would LOVE to hear y'all check out some of his early material from The Bob Seger System like 2+2= or Get out of Denver...

[@rodcampbell2391]

Best performer best concert ever!!! Seger is one of my favorite singer to this day

[@mikebrock7606]

Bob is one of the great Rock artists and blues/folk singers of all time. I saw him in his Detroit home town and the crowd was so loud. First time I saw him, he opened for the Eagles......the rest is history.

[@kevinmauch5622]

I was fortunate enough to see Bob Seger live many times, as I grew up a couple hours south of Detroit. First time I saw him was at the teen center in my hometown of Lima, Ohio. It cost 50 cents to get in. Bob couldn't have been older that 17 or 18 but he already had that VOICE. We all knew he was going to be a star.

[@rogerkelly7988]

You just can't beat a great iconic rock song and this is one glad to see Lex enjoying it

[@clintjo2377]

What a voice all these years still gets me !!!

[@markbryant5965]

I love what you said about the grit of Seger's voice - and it is missing from much of today's music because I think too many younger folks have been spoiled by shows like "The Voice" into thinking they must be polished, perfect singers for the tunes they choose. But they seem like they are not singing from their soul at all - they oversing and leave out all the nuances and think such will impress the judges - and it usually does.

[@larrybailey517]

My dad was born in 1914 (RIP) and only listen to old country and gospel music. This was an exception he said because it took him back to his youth. I always think about him when I hear this.

[@lindazee]

That's amazing! Bob Seger touched many people of different ages and backgrounds. God bless your memories of your dad.

[@katherineheasley6196]

You can hear the gospel influence in this song. It's good, old-fashioned Southern blues rock.

[@fenderfox5080]

Bob segar!! Many great songs, makes me feel like a kid again, my family would have back yard parties and crank the records and throw horse shoes drink and party while us kids got to steal cigs and beer and listen to this great music. Glad to see y'all getting into these old ones.

[@frekitheravenous516]

This was my mom's favorite song when i was a kid. I never understood it. Then i turned 40. And it was like "Oooohhhhhhhh, Now i get it". Bob is the Man and he makes you remember those special moments, places and people.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

That song was the theme song for Chevy trucks for 20 years and it sold a ton of trucks. Bob Seger is revered in Michigan partly for what he did to save auto workers jobs. Thanks for your reaction. Bob has a treasure trove of great music. You should try Roll Me Away or Hollywood Nights. 👏👏👏

[@Spartantex81]

I remember hearing him and his band practicing on an old barn near me before they hit it big. Free Seger music every day.

[@claimguy]

One of the most underrated guitar solos of all time. There's only two that really "move" me - hit me right in the core - this gem by Rick Vito and David Gilmour on Comfortably Numb. Of course, the lyrics are untouchable. I'm up to "40 years now, where'd they go", and the feeling never changes.

Bob Seger was one of the major influences on Garth Brooks, as well as many others. He's a Michigan boy, and I tell ya, the whole state is proud of one of their sons! Bob Seger has more soul than he would appear to have, and he's one of the greatest, but also one of the most humble performers.
